Irish Clans and Their WAR Cries

- In this video, we delve into the complex and fascinating world of ancient Ireland, where the concept of a unified nation was unheard of. Instead, the island was divided into many clan-based groups, each exercising limited power and sovereignty over their familial domains.
Sluaghghairm - The Battle Cry
Each of these family based factions had their own sluaghghairm, or ‘battle-cry’, associated to their family line or tribe, usually derived by the followers of great families or chieftains to act as a hue and cry, a rallying call to all able-bodied kinsmen, a cry of war from which its hearers drew an almost supernatural ancestral strength and courage to fight on.
One of the defining features of this society was the importance placed on family and lineage. Each family group and collection of families occupying a territory were seen as their own sovereign and independent nation, with their own clan leaders and battle cries.
These battle cries, known as sluagh-ghairm, were used to rally kinsmen to battle and were a defining feature of Irish society at the time. From the famous "Red Hand to Victory" of the O'Neills, to the "Strong Hand to Victory" of the O'Briens, each family had its own unique cry, steeped in history and tradition.

My McGibbon family war cry was " here we go again" and my mothers side the Murphy's war cry was "hit them hard then meet at the pub". At least that is what my granda's told me ;-)
My grandfather was a Hackett, his mother was a Heffernan and her mother was a Brien. My grandmother was a Griffin, her mother was Shaw. The family battle cry was 'The last one in pays.'
I like that, think you may be related to my clan as well
Are you sure you’re not a Scottish clan?
Hahaha! 🍻
did that apply when you went out drinking
That’s pretty good!
It's only taken me 67 years to finally begin tracing my Irishness on the internet. It's all turning out to be so quick and easy unlike the books I have read from our libraries in transient Florida USA. Thank you for pointing me in this direction.
How'd you do it?
It’s all preserved In Irish (Gaelic)! One of the oldest spoken languages in the world, and it’s the language itself which makes it so easy for us American diaspora to find out about our history.
My family settled the Pan Handle of Fla from Scotland and Ireland.
The battle cry of the Harkin family from time immemorial has always been "Not in the face!"
😂😂😂😂😂
I love it worthy off prattchett himself 😂
@@toniomalley5661 I am honored to be referenced with such 🙂
🤣
Nice one...but as an old Tír Chonaill surname Ó h-Earcáin and followers of O'Donnell....your war cry is Ó Domhnaill Abú.
I’m so happy to have found this video. My family (O’Donnell) has been in America for 4 generations now including me. I’m getting married soon and would love to be able to tell my children of their heritage on my side of the family. Their mother is Burundian, that’s something I’d like to track back as well.
Hello,where are Burundians from ?
I was in Lismullin Co Meath recently at Ráth Lugh and the Gabhra Valley both connected with the wider complex of Tara. All major Pagan places of worship. The myths say the Fianna lived, fought and died in places like this and the fairy folk now inhabit them. There's still traces of our ancestor's everywhere, go out and see it for yourself. It's breathtaking.
Great work mo chara
I visited Tara as a child ,there is s stone there if you walk around it anti clockwise three times you will get your wish. Needless to say I didn't get mine,it was for a donkey
O'Neil family from Tyrone here, just passing through 👍🏻
O'Donnell from Donegal also passing by 😏
Tyrone you say? McCusker just passing through
Oneill Abu
O'Callaghan O'Donnell mix passing through. Maybe we can intermarry and have peace, or we may raid and steal all your cattle, looking at you O'Neill's (traditional O'Donnell rivals)
I think my family's battle cry was "ahhhhhhhhh you bastards!"
The concept of Ireland the nation was clearly conceived through the long list of High Kings that appear in Irish literature (and law) from the earliest writing.
Aye but the High King rarely had influence over the whole country. Most often it was the O'Neill dynasty which sometimes had influence over much of Ulster, Connacht and Leinster, but a lot of times the High King had no influence outside of the Uí Néill dynasty and the province of Meath.
The kingdom of Munster was rarely under the influence of the High Kingship.
The title of High King was more like the WWE wrestling title it seems. Everybody fights each other for it and then whoever wins gets a share of everybody else's riches/cattle until they are challenged again!
@@cigh7445 you could say that about England France. For example in the north of England after the Vikings came The controls York and much of the area around it. This was a fact until the Normans came and use the scorched Earth policy against them. Even before the Vikings came England was divided. Interior such as Mercia and Wessex They did not have no notion of a high King over them. In Ireland who was quite clearly a high King Full stop you have to remember that the Norman's were invited in by the Irish in Leinster anime battles between the Normans and the Irish was Irish against the Norman's and of Leinster. One of widely recognised dynasties was the fitzgerald's Which I believe had a strong connection to Leinster house.
Brendan Keane nationality as a concept did not exist at this time lol
Ireland has the longest national conception in Europe. We had the concept of the High King long before England or France had a language.
@@brxbrg9045 Kingship is the concept of nationality. Language is the manifestation of it.
The battle cry for O’Brien is translated as “The strong arm uppermost/above” I believe, “Lambh Lairdir an Uchtar.”
lamnh laidir an uchtaran
The clan of O'Hogan stands with you!
My Maternal Grandmother’s maiden name is OBrian married name Cord we don’t know much about this side of my family only that the Cords came from Cork We know more about my Dads Irish family Crossan from County Mayo who came to Scotland in the 1800 hundreds and in this line everyone was Irish or of Irish descent it was fascinating Erin Go Braugh
Lámh Láidir an Uachtair.
To any American looking at that map @0:27, you see the area to the right called the PALE, that is where the term 'Beyound the Pale' comes from, the land that was beyond this area was Irish country and considered wild, uneducated and 'too Irish' for the upper class "English" living in Dublin.
Really interesting, I try to tell everyone the true history of Ireland, first time I found a video online relating. Explains the true spirit of the people.

Here's a good connection for you! I learn from your video that the symbol of the O'Neill's was a red hand? I am a 3rd generation motorcyclist and a motorcycle historian. One of my most precious photos is of my Dad sitting on his Dad's Rudge motorcycle, sometime during the 1920s in Sheffield. The Rudge badge includes a red hand and there was a Rudge Ulster model. My grandfather used to be a music hall comedian who went by the name Tom O'Neill ! I don't think we had any Irish connections, (apart from my now being married to a lass whose Dad came from Mitchelstown, who was a Burke). Thank you for giving me another possible hint at the character of my grandfather on my Dad's side, who I sadly never met.
6:20 it really goes back to the red hand of Zerah. Just like all these lions are used as the lion of Judah, which are on every royal family's crest, and some normal citizens'.
Desmond descendant, from the lines of tassel thomas, and his brother james FitzGerald, we do not forget our own who died for Ireland and its people in the rebellions. Grandpa was a Desmond, his mother was an O'Brien.
My grandma was a Fitzgerald. I can't trace her line back to Ireland, though, as I hit a huge brick wall. I once saw a possible link to the O'Briens. My computer crashed, so I lost a ton of genealogy stats.
Desmond descendant as well
0:22 It WAS a country.
The Brehon Law was used over all Irishmen.
There was a High King Of Ireland.
The Irishmen all had the same Irish culture.
The clans didn't identify as a nation.
There was a complex system but Ireland was without a doubt a nation. Was the Holy Roman Empire a country? Yes. The clans controlled their region and often tried take more land from other clans but the fact they all used the same law and had a High King means that it was undoubtadly a single country.
The clans did not take land. Under Brehon Law the people didn't own the land they were tenders to the land. Meaning that if they kept the land in good standing as in fruitful rich and furtile, then they could pass it on. If they let the land go to shit, the regional king would pass it to another family member and the former land tender would have to work the land with out deed or title to make up for letting the land go to ruin. This was about farming and ecosystem. They were responsible for the environmental well being of the land like tending to forests, and crops. The over all policy disputes of Brehon were deliberated over by a council of kings in Tara. If their were local land disputes the local King would over see the dispute. If there was land theft the High King of Tara would refer to the local ovates on the record of deeds, and proper ownership in the sense of who the tender to the land was.
Otherwise I agree.
Yeah people often get caught in the false conflation of nation(basically synonymous with ethnicity) and nationstate
Having a high king of Ireland was a later Gaelic tradition.. it wasn’t there from the start.
I used the words "one nation", not country. You differ only on semantics. There was seldom ever a high-king without opposition. You literally make my point in your 3rd sentence. Parts of Ireland are even still named after the various clan territories. Eoghan's Country (now Tyrone) was literally that. I'm presenting the history as it was and avoiding romanticism. Calm down.
👀
AWESOME. manythanks and greatly appreciated !!
I was hoping I'd see Flaherty in this video!! Good stuff either way
The battle cry of Clan O’Rourke was simply ‘BUAGH’ - victory. Surprised it wasn’t covered….
My grandfather is a Collins. Don't know much about his lineage but he's very proud to be Irish and visits occasionally. I hope to travel there someday
grandfather on my dad is a Collins, I’m a Collins, my grandma on my dads side is a Sullivan, then on my moms side my grandma is a Clyde and my grandfather is a Salter. Haven’t yet taken a dna test but i know it’ll easily be 50+ celtic lmao
@@skskdbehsu my mother's dad is the Collins. I think his mother is Irish not entirely sure though but my father is a mix of German English and Native American so I'm a mix of a lot of things lol

Brilliant video very interesting buladh bós
Fanad Abu!!!!!! great bit of knowledge from a once mighty island
I lol'd at the Anglo-Norman Fitzgerald quip. Leave it to Anglo Supremacism to think they're more Irish than the Irish.
Completely agree, the concept of "Irishness" didn't come until the Anglo-Norman subjugation.
@@odranodonnell8539 That's hilarious, I'm an O'Donnell. Maybe calling the Anglo on their shit is in the blood. 🤣
You do realize there is a famous saying that the Normans become more Irish than the Irish themselves. Look it up if you don't believe me.
Im a Fitzgerald desmond descendant, and the name goes back to normandy before 1066, but these were the earls that rebelled because they would not obey their cousin queen Elizabeth 1 and starve the people they were governing over... We were disposessed, and 2 brothers killed by royal warrant. They died for Ireland and the people.
So, now, go poke fun at them some more, idiots!
LOL, the O'Donnells fought on the side of the Fitzgeralds against the Burkes. Well a Mac Gearailt speaking Gaelainn in the Kerry Gaeltacht is one of the most Irish things there is.
Just to clarify, Ireland was a country back then with a High King and the Irish Brehon Laws being used by all.
So yes Ireland was a single nation.
There was a high King but there was continual warfare between the junior kings and chieftains if you read the annals of Leinster ,it would make your hair stand on end, people seemed to have nothing better to do but fight. And it was real "in" fighting for instance,one battle the people of Fingal (around Dublin) would decide to attack Cork ,the army would march for days over 200 miles. the people who I pity most were the isolated cottagers on their march south ,they burnt them out killed their animals and if they resisted,also themselves.in one episode they burnt Cork to the ground,and killed anyone not lucky enough to flee, within a few weeks the Cork army marched to Fingal burning and pillaging as they went,on their merry way, they eventually arrived at a little village of Lusk just North of Dublin, the population men women children headed for the safety of the Round tower,attached to the church and about 300 people went inside, pulled up the ladder and bolted the great door which was 20 ft above ground level, When the cork army arrived,they battered down the door,didnt enter as there was a narrow winding 100 ft staircase inside, but got a brilliant idea, piled a gigantic mound of firewood inside and lit it. Everyone inside was burnt to death. Done to a crisp I suppose, but neither side learned their lesson these raids went on for hundreds of years. Talk about having a long memory but not a very bright one. Did it never strike anyone that they could have had s nice peaceful life if they found something better to do,than go on these quests for power Silly duffers, Its all in a book The history of Fingal
@@laurielovett8849 and the anglos and normans didnt?
It's similar to Japan. Japan had several warring factions, and they did have an emperor, but the emperor's power usually was ceremonial in nature. A united nation doesn't war upon itself. Eventually one alliance of Japanese won out over the other and they ended up with the Tokugawa Shogunate that would lead to modern Japan.
In theory it was a nation but in practice not. Allegiances were constantly changing within and without clans.
@@laurielovett8849 a well if it's all in a book sure it must be gospel 🥱

I recently found out that my great grandfather was of Irish decent, though an orphan that snuck onto a ship to the USA. He believed his surname was Vallely, but says he was too young to remember for sure.
Great video. Dunn Clan here
Mulać Abú! Meaning people of the hills.
Clan Nunnemaker here. 😝😝
O Duinn here
No, it means the mullach/hillock for ever.
Brilliant as always.
Lovelly surname
This was interesting indeed! My family is Sullivan and my Great³ Grandpa Hugh Sullivan was born, raised and married in Munster County Cork. He left during the potato famine and immigrated to the U.S. to Michigan and his son Hugh Sullivan moved to Dale Minnesota and was the first Irish family to settle there as wheat farmer's(I found a community newsletter where they were nervous but curious about the Irish settlers who were moving in) and from there there was 3 generations of wheat farmers in my family ending with my grandfather and his sibling who didn't continue the farm.
Wow, I could have written the same comment but with a different Sullivan!
Munster isnt a 0place in Munster cork is in Munster
As far as i heard, Munster is province not a town
Mike Sullivan here we have a large clan my ancestors for about 6 generations were in and around Tennessee
There was no famine.
Thousands of tons of food were exported from Ireland under armed guard every week of the so called famine.
It was a genocide.
Right on!! Thanks brother and peace to you always 🍀🇺🇸
my family are the Downey's, Ennis, Dougherty's and other's too numerous to mention. There battle cry is "When the bottles start flying child, get under the table." Thank you.
My mother's side has my Irish line and I am proud of my Norman-Irish Geraldine bloodline. I am descended from one of the daughters of the last of the Earls of Desmond, Gerald FitzGerald. As it turns out I'm named Gerald and am the son of Gerald. We could not keep the title, as our ancestor was attained by Elizabeth the First, but we could keep the name alive to honor our ancestor who rebelled against English rule.
He was killed in Glenageenty in 1583.
@@cqk3578 I know, he got out of the Tower of London in 1574, returned to Ireland, married and produced 2 sons and 3 daughters, and raised rebellion against the English Crown until defeated in 1582 and betrayed in 1583 by a farmer for the $1k pound reward on his head. He and his last faithful four companions were surrounded in the farmer's house and they fought to the death, no quarter given or asked for.
@@istvan5674 The earl raided an O' Moriarty family for cattle and some say gave the family a hard time.That family then went to Castlemaine where the English had recently installed a garrison and got some of them to track the cattle over or around the east of the sliabh Mish mountains and onto the hidden glen .
@@annesmith6582 Gerald Fitzgerald, the Earl of Desmond, lived in Desmond Castle, Newcastle West, County Limerick when he wasn't imprisoned in the Tower of London or afield leading the rebellion against the English. There is another Desmond Castle in Kinsale, but it was used as a customs house and then a prison.
O Brien here listing to this wonderful story!
Blow in my ear. Here to rock loves that the most.
Thanks for the video guys.
Proud Mcgrath here, love learning about the heritage
Great work and thank you brother... Also do you know much about the McNeil family and clan?
So far, 'galey' - possibly from 'gaeley' or 'gaely' appears Briton and welsh mostly with a little Scott. Though a river named 'galey' is in Ireland. One family's DNA male unbroken chain test comes back to a small island off coast of Scotland named Butte island.
so much great info, as always. thank you!
i apologize if its obvious but was wondering, does it read "L Allen" or "L Alleu" directly above "W Brefni" on the first map shown?
or something else entirely heh, that is possible too
oh thank you so much!
The best Gaelic war cry of them all:
“COGOOOOOO! COGOOOOO!”
Our family cry was " Avast yer carousin haul wind yer skalleewag and ter Kum uhbout.⛵💣⚔️🏴☠️
Ah Tullyhogue in Tyrone, Hill of the O'Hagans, who the O'Neills needed their support from.
I come from a family of O'Byrnes (now Byrne). I'm friends with an O'Toole and my mother grew up living next door to the O'Briens.
My aunt (Byrne) had a child with a Butler, and their son, my cousin, is named Thomas Butler.
A Byrne descendant here too.
@BrehonAcademy Oh, cool! I love finding out all this history of our ancestors, but part of me finds it funny that nowadays we're having cups of tea with people we'd be enemies with 600 years ago 😂
The majority of my family lives in Bray, so we didn't move very far from our ancestral home.
I was thinking of the song by Bing Cosby “Too ra loo ra loo ral”
Could it possibly originate from “Tuath loo” as in a song of a particular people?🤔
The Casey's that settled in Yorkshire and Lancashire brought the ancestral battle cry with us, and translates to 'Hhhhhhowww Muchhhhhh I'm not paying that!!!
Is there anything on the Kinsella's?
Our name was changed from Sullivan to Solomon so we weren’t discriminated against during the height of the Irish immigration to the west. My recent genealogy results seem to be conclusive with that. Crazy that it took one unfortunate action to strip away any association with our lineage until dna kits came out… do I change my name or keep it to preserve the history, however unfortunate it may be?
My surname was also changed but I wouldn’t change it. It’s part of our evolution and has a unique history.
Hey im a Kennelly (O Cinnfhaolaidh) meaning a wolf head learned man.

Would love to know more about my sept and the families I'm a part of.
There are a lot of names missing here like O'Dalaigh, whom according to the MasterS' of the 4 annals are descended from Niall of the 9 hostages (1 was St. Patrick) & Descended from the DALACH from the TUATHA DE DANAAN
My family are Byrnes. I traced them back to before Bran himself, and back further and further, to the earliest known High Kings, also including Niall. I suppose if you go back for enough, a lot of our clans would have been related at some point!
Clan Scott battle cry is “the Scott’s are out”
Words relating to Cathal pronounce "Cah' al" are all related to "battle" like McCarthy, McCahill, Kavanaugh, Conor, Callahan, Carol, Karen (Karen is simply Catherine with a silent "th"), Campbell, Caitlyn, Charles, etc. The word in Hebrew for war is "mil cah ma", mil- military (Milesian) cah- war or battle is also associated with Mi-ka or Michael, that "ka" is everywhere in the Gaelic language and all European languages especially military words like "sargeant" (cargeant), "colonel", "candidate", "campus", "castle" but most importantly "Celt" or "Kelt" and how it relates in another alphabet as "Gael" or Gaul as in Michael and or Miguel. A Kelt was really a Kell (or a Call and may without a doubt be related to the called out ones). The Irish coats of arms (and Scottish) will tell you those names mean "good cook" or "great swimmer" dont believe them.
Mil = 1000 in Cymraeg 🏴.
@@gandolfthorstefn1780 Probably the amount of men in a fighting force. Of course Mil can be related to "million" or a number. Million at one time simply meant a large quantity like "million man army". The "Mil"esians made up most of the population of geographical Ireland (or the place it is known as today). Mil Espaine was really Mil Iberia because it wasnt even called Spain yet. Iberia and Hibernia are the same words in different languages or simply changed in time. Mil as in Milesian is without a doubt where the word Milesian derives and from even earlier times as I stated. They will say thousands of words are French or Latin or Old English, Old German but they never say Celtic which is the key to their lies or disinformation. They will make it as if Bohemia or Bavaria or Meinz or The Rhine river, the Danube etc etc etc are everything but Celtic.
Im a direct decendent from the Fitzgeralds,proud to be an Irish decendent....
@@annesmith6582 hi, im not sure, when my grandfather come to Australia he never mentioned his family or where in Ireland he was born,its a shame really because i cant do a family tree for our family,he was born in 1892 and moved to Australia in early 1905,he was 12 and then at 16 he joined the AIF Army and fought in WW1 and WW2 for Australia,on his army papers he says he was born in Australia, he passed away in 1946 before i was born in 1961.so sadly i never knew the man.
Fitz is the Norman version of the Irish o.

I decend from Kalvaugh O'Donnell Prince of Tyraconnel a decendant of Hugh.
😊Thanks for sharing 😊
My family are an ancient Eoghannacht group of Munster, our golden era ebbed as the Normans plundered. My dad used to say the family sluaghghairm was "Skin n all!" But seriously, it was a pun in Patrician Latin, "Serva Jugum."
and my last landed ancestor's crest featured a red hand in antique mail, couped in lace on a red ionar grasping a silver long sword with a golden serpent descending sun-wise on a gray shield surmounted by a Gaelic helmet a baronial crest and a black pennant- we were resistors to the bitter end after Aughrim.
Of magnificent interest 🙂
My McCabe battle cry was Aut Vincere Aut Mori, either to conquer or die.
I read somewhere,clans used to have thier own hair braids ☘️the hand of friendship remains firm. This was the response to O'Brien cutting offhis own hand. In order to ne the first clan to touch Ireland. The bloodyhand(O'BRIEN) the winner getting to choose thier portion of the Island ☘️ O' Su'illeabha'in
Lots of countries in Europe were divided amoung many clans which gradually united into nation states. The same would inevitably have happened in Ireland, with or without foreign interferrence.

I can go back to the 1700 Ireland. My Daughters are the 1st ever generation here in America. I'm from Connaught Ireland. I keep Our Culture and Ways alive in them and Grandchildren. EDIT: Henry the 8th also had Cromwell take My Families Castle.
Joanne Madden, Cromwell was in Ireland roughly 140 years after Henry V111 departed to his eternal rest. So while some of what you say may be correct, I would suggest you dig a little more.
I’m of Clan Douglas in Scotland we have our own tartan too .
Is there any connection to similar colors and symbols in heraldry? For example, the Red Lion and the Red Hand appears on many banners... Would they be related clans? Location doesn't seem to matter, but then, it's a small island.
Was an O'Tunney, now just a Tunney. Dropped the "O" back at new york but thank god we kept our "EY"
Here in Ireland,if you research through Church parish records , which you have to if you want to trace back further than about 1880, its amazing the changes in spelling in just one surname, my maternal grandmothers name for instance is spelled Ledwich, Ledwidge, Ledwige and a few others I can't recall, it seemed to be at the whim of the clerk or priest who recorded the birth ( mostly) or marriage, and the changes can be in one generation, my grandmother was one of 7 children, all these variations of surname occurs with her siblings baptismal records ,, another whim of the clerk or priest recording baptisms is that most wrote after the child's name if appropriate " illegitimate" but a few in the same parish wrote " bastard " Had one in my family, after Whelehan" bastard" was scrawled " parents later married" so Rose Whelehan turned into Rose Carroll, apparantly Dad Whelehan had a shotgun.
The vast majority of Irish families dropped the o once they started speaking English.
My family name is anglo Saxon so could my ancestral clan be from the Fitzgeralds
ONeill...and proud!

Glad to see that you spell Flanagan this way, which is how my family has spelled it since immigrating to the US in the 1800s.
The image of the lion as an Irish symbol in family crests makes no sense to me, the wolf, bear or boar seem more likely. Not sure how genuine these family crests are. The crests seem more Pharaonic than Irish.
What about the O’Murchadhs??
That's what I was thinking. My husband is a Murphy.
I am of the O Neill
Originally, we were O’Sullivan from County Cork. Then, at some point, we became O’Rooney. My great grandpa came from county cork in the early 1900’s. His last name was Rooney. My maiden name was Rooney. I’m still confused about the O’Sullivan to Rooney/O’Rooney.
Possibly fleeing the authorities. Changing a name to start a new life in an new land.
Also you can interchange names that begin with "O/Mac/Ni/UI" as they all essentially mean "descendent of" in male/female/neutral denominations. Rooneys and O'Rooneys would normally hail from a common family group. Normally being the key word because there was probably more than one Irish man named Rooney historically 😂

I can't seem to find when this was ...... hope you can help me out with on going question... no matter where I look I can't find the date and on the map it's say in bold Latin writing KINGDOM OF IRELAND... And all its countries but I don't think its divided up at this time... thank you for any help you can give me it's just something I seen and would like to know about....
my clan is Ó Donnchadha
I need help with the following pronunciation for my family member who came over to the US from Ireland during the Famine. Last name on a marriage certificate here was transliterated as Kilgareth. She later anglicized it to Garvey. Which I looked up and Garvey somehow comes from Gairbhshíth, Gairbheith, Gairbith? Other than the American way of pronouncing Garvey (gar-vee) I have no idea how to pronounce the other names. Also, what would it have been to add "kil" and then take it away. This is all confusing. Her name was Mary. Thank you!
Can anyone tell me anything about the last name Duggan
I alway associate Duggan with Kilkenny........but there is a well respected Bishop in Loughrea in famine times called Dr Duggan......I know because he was related to my family and he was born in North Galway but I think they came from Kilkenny originally
There is an interesting book on him . .The life of Dr Duggan.....I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you claimed him as a relative
Don't forget Isle of Mann, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, Brittany and Galicia.
Wales Cornwall Brittany and Galicia aren’t Gaelic
Looks interesting.
Tribal . I love that
